Tricia's Wedding

About This Movie

Tricia's Wedding is a fascinating blend of documentary and surreal comedy, capturing a moment in time that feels both bizarre and oddly resonant. The Cockettes, known for their flamboyant performances, take on the wedding of Tricia Nixon and Edward Cox with a unique flair. The pacing has this erratic energy, bouncing between celebrity interviews and the wedding itself, making it feel like a fever dream. The atmosphere is thick with the love-it-or-hate-it aesthetic of the early '70s counterculture, and the performances from the diverse cast are a patchwork of sincerity and satire. It’s not just about the wedding; it’s a snapshot of an era, filled with cultural icons and the peculiarities of the time.

Tricia's Wedding has seen limited releases over the years, mostly appearing at niche film festivals or special screenings. The original format, a mix of 16mm and 35mm elements, adds to its unique visual texture. Collectors tend to seek out archival prints, as home video releases are scarce and often poorly reproduced. Interest in this title has grown as the cultural significance of its content has been reassessed, making it a curious piece for those interested in both the Cockettes and the radical 1970s scene.
